How Skypro streamlines uniform management
Using a UMS makes all things easier regarding airline uniforms
Uniform management can be a headache for airlines when it comes to tracking purchases, sizes, deliveries, returns and inventory. To alleviate this, Skypro's Uniform Management Systems (UMS) mySKYPRO Portal automates and unifies all stages of uniform management, including manufacturing, fitting, ordering, logistics and customer service. In this article, Skypro CEO Jorge Pinto breaks down the benefits of using a UMS.
"The goal of a Uniform Management System is to facilitate the process of managing uniforms, so that companies can focus more on the main purpose of their business and the needs of their customers and employees," Pinto explains, adding that it can lead to increase employee satisfaction by removing unnecessary steps and offering more autonomy.
Time and cost efficiency
Besides employee satisfaction, a good UMS reduces cost and time, Pinto says. A UMS will easily connects employees and uniform managers to suppliers, handle and limit orders, manage deliveries and returns, keep up with numbers and stocks, all in real time. All of this via a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform that can be accessed anywhere and that demands minimal interference.
The mySKYPRO Portal works with smart algorithms to forecast uniform demands.
"To develop mySKYPRO, we gathered more than 15 years of market research, purchase histories, browsing data, social network analytics, customer surveys, and other reports. That huge understanding of the pains and needs of a uniform manager results in a much better online shopping experience and prediction capability," Pinto explains.
